Summarising Chatterbox
These fun Summarising Chatterboxes are the perfect way to create engagement among your students as they develop their summarising skills. Students simply partner up and use the chatterbox as a discussion prompt to summarise a text they have read.
This task can be used after reading a whole class text or an independent/guided reading book response. It’s a great tool to send home to practise with also.
